The Role
Compliance, Policing Operations and Security (CPOS) is responsible for enforcement, compliance, policing and security and community safety across TfL. Our work contributes to keeping our transport network safe and secure, improving passenger confidence, and ensuring that the rules and regulations are enforced in a fair and proportionate manner.
CPOS Operations provides a professional, highly visible compliance and enforcement service across the breadth of TfL services. This could mean working on any of our modes - at our bus stations, our train stations, on the underground and rail network, on our buses or across the Taxi and Private Hire industry. As an Operations Officer you will be providing a reassuring visible presence, enforcing the rules and the regulations of our services. In addition, you may also carry out further specific enforcement, for example carrying out vehicle checks, issuing parking tickets or checking passengers’ tickets on our bus network. All Operations Officers are trained to tackle anti-social behaviour and work-related violence and aggression on our network,
You will be the sort of person who welcomes a challenge, shows strong resilience and someone who can keep calm when those around you are not. You will be confident, firm, assertive, empathetic, and polite when dealing with difficult individuals. We will require you to be proactive and not afraid to get involved to support our staff and passengers when situations have the potential to escalate. Most of all, you will be the sort of person who wants to make a real difference, contributing to making our network a safe environment for all of our users.
This role has a varied shift pattern, which may include working a shift pattern covering weekends, nights, and bank holidays.
